Jay481985 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I use a jasper jig, partsexpress has it for 50 dollars for both 1-8 inch cutter and 7-26 in i believe. They are yes overpriced but they last forever if kept well and they cannot unloosen while you drill and make a wide circle. They are holed individually and work with many routers. you can get creative and do things like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Jay481985 I have the one you PM'ed me about on order. It will be useful for next project. I'm still looking for an adjustable jig for square holes. Think I'll be using the slice and dice menthod til I find something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 speakerfritz I hope you use them to very good use. Also are the horns exact squares? Do you have a drill press? I think they call it a mortisor.... But that what they use on the New Yankee Workshop to make square cutouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homemadeheresy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Looks good, my mouth was watering, maybe it was my eyes when I looked at the pictures of all your drivers and networks. Quite a stockpile you have there. I took a look at that page for the crossover equations, very nice if I do say so. I just bought a copy of the instructions on how to build a speakerlab K and am contemplating building one this fall. Although have some diagrams of the jubilee as well. Haven't decided on which way to go, the better half is about fed up with my speaker fetish[]. Where are you located, I'm in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. I was curious about your Home Depot carrying that plywood you are using, our Lowes doens't carry anything that nice. There is a Home Depot about 40 miles away and may have to check it out. . Thanks again for the info and hope to see pics from your next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Located in NYC All the HD's in NYC and Central Jersey carry birch, oak, and sand-ply plywoods. The original speakerlab K instructions are pretty detailed. I would'nt go with their Xover schematic. The parts are for some projects that family members have asked for. Will be working thru some of the projects over the next few months. I have a Jub project pending. Still undecided if I want to use 2 pairs of LaScala's as the core for the Jub dog house's, or build from scratch. Depending on your room size, may also want to consider "cornscala" or cornwall. Both are favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Located in NYC All the HD's in NYC and Central Jersey carry birch, oak, and sand-ply plywoods. I agree. The Homedepot in Jersey City is basically falling apart, atleast now Lowes is there and kicks their *** in things like having the right size item and having it on the proper shelf and not having it on the floor and you trying to look for it. I went to the Lowes in Staten Island just to buy MDF because the Jersey city one was passing particle board as mdf and Lowes was not built yet in Jersey City. The plywoods over in Staten Island can vary sometimes as I remember seeing marine grade (no plugs) and sometimes the same price but was selling plywood with plugs as voidfree. The best Homedepot I saw was the one on route 78 in NJ. It is the biggest and cleanest one I have seen in NJ, also the Homedepot owned home furnishing store is next door.

homemadeheresy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I've got to have a folded horn bass bin of some sort, would love to do the Jubs, but will probably have to settle for Khorns. Doesn't sound good when you say it that way. But you know what I mean. Good luck with the projects and look forward to seeing some pics along the way.

bluesboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Here is a jig I use to make the 3''x 13'' cut out in the K-Horn motor board. The square hole in the template is done on the table saw. The template is cut out of 1/2'' mdf. Let's see if this picture posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Attatch the template to the motor board blank with a couple of 3/4'' brads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Next, drill a hole large enough to drop a jigsaw blade through and rough cut a hole in the motor board leaving 1/8'' to 1/4'' of material away from the edge of the template.

bluesboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Mount a 1/2'' edge triming bit with top bearing in the router. Adjust the router base so that only the bearing comes in contact with the template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Remove the rest of the material from the hole making sure the bearing on the bit makes contact with the template all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 The finished product. The template was gently pried away from motor board. The 3/4'' brads remain in the template. You just clip off the end of the brad that sticks out of the template and file it down flush. The template is ready use again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cueman Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Let's see if this picture posts. They post OK, but you are killing people on dial up. 2576 x 1932 resolution !!!
